But it will offend, there are to many folk out there who don't think you should have an opinion, whether it is right or wrong!!
I am curious to see if you are yourself anorexic though!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had anorexia for 20 years, with many hospital admission for refeeding to save my life!. I don't think anyone who has seriously been ill and suffered with anorexia would agree with the pro-ana stuff!. Its a truly horrible existence!. The pro ana stuff is usually silly American teenagers who think they can be happy by emulating the likes of posh spice!. They don't have a clue what its like to nearly lose your life to the horrible illness!. The chronically anorexic people would do anything to discourage others from following the same path "we" have taken because its such a waste of a life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
im really not writing this meaning to offend however it comes across, but i think pro ana is horrable, people who do such a stupid and damaging thing to themselves shouldnt be encouraged, they should be encouraged to get help!. i put it in the same catagory as a bunch of people encouraging heroin addicts "dont quit, youll get higher if you shoot up more" its insanity!. but then again i guess its natural selection, the weak ones have to get culled somehow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm afraid I rank it up there with smoking and binge drinking!. Doing untold harm to yourself for no good reason!. That's how I feel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I personally do not like these pro-ana websites that keep popping up on the internet, and I mean absolutely no disrespect to you, but I will tell you why:
For one, teens looking for the latest ''fad disorder'' or way of life will have seen celebrities with this disorder, look it up and instead of coming across websites helping to stop this disorder, they come across these pro-ana tips to help them starve themselves, and ''thinspiration'' in the form of pictures of unhealthily skinny girls and they are told this is what they should achieve!. In some ways, I personally think it glamorises it and makes it seem like a ''way of life'' when in actual fact it is an eating DISORDER!
Also, some people with eating disorders may not be ''hardcore'' enough or whatever you want to call it to continue with the disorder if they did not find these 'tips' to help them!. Things such as ''when your stomach grumbles because you are hungry, hit it and this will stop the noise and make it hurt so much that you won't feel like eating'' I personally find this disgusting!.
I actually suffered from this eating disorder, and at the time I went on many pro-ana websites and told myself I was choosing this disorder, but in actual fact I wasn't! I was really just putting off getting help by pretending to choose to starve myself but really I was out of control, and needed help!. I'm glad someone finally forced me to get help!. I'm still extremely underweight, but I no longer limit my food intake and I've never felt better!
I'm not going to try to stop you from being pro-ana because at the end of the day it is your choice of lifestyle, but I am definately against it!. Well, that's my opinion!.!.!.
All the best!.

Hmm!. It`s strange; when I first came across the phenomena of pro-ana 8 years or so ago, I was so adamantly against them!. I found it really disturbing, that there were websites encouraging a mentall illness to worsen!.
Then, I became quite hooked on pro-ana!. I was already anorexic, and had been since I was 11!. I felt that it was so good to be given support, and the only place I got any support was pro-ana sites!.
Now, I take absolutely no part in pro-ana!. I think most people who use pro-ana sites are very ill, and the sad fact is, there is very little / no support / help / advice / treatment available to many people with anorexia via the NHS (even moreso in the states, where it`s extortionately expensive to buy healthcare)!.I think pro-ana sites can be the only source of support / contact with the outside world for many people (since anorexia is a condition that destroys relationships aswell as bodies and minds)!.
You have`nt been at all offensive!. I also believe in freedom of speach!. Well done for having the courage to post this question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's as daft as being pro-schizophrenia or pro-depression!.
Anorexia is a mental disorder-or at least stems from other forms of mental disorders!. Thus to me saying you are pro-ana equates to people saying "I support mental disorders!"!.
Mental health issues are hardly a life choice; I mean would a "normal" person suddenly say "I know I'll make the life choice to become depressed!." I don't think it works like that, and I don't think it works like that for anorexia; even if you have the illusion of being in control of it!. So to me what you are saying is illogical; you are advocating a "choice" that doesn't exist!.
Very interesting question though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
